Masters programmes

[Monique]

Is it normal to have masters so much related to each other that it is impossible to choose which one you like?

Medical Biology
Medical Biochemistry
Biomolecular Sciences
Molecular Cell Biology and Bioinformatics

All at the same university.

The dutch government just passed a bill making it illegal to invent new master degrees..

We have the same situation at my university. We got

Microbiology (Faculty of Agricutural and Enviromental Science)
Microbiology & Immunology (Faculty of Science)
Anatomy and Cell Biology
Biochemistry
Biotechnology
Experimental Medicine
Parasitology

It think it is a figth between departement to get as many student as possible. Some programs sounds better to impress people. Each program also have their "specialization" and different kind of projects.
